Features & Capabilities

Text to Speech (TTS) is an easy-to-use Chrome extension that converts selected text into natural sounding speech with just one click. It automatically detects the source language, removing the need to set it manually each time. Simply hold down the "Alt", "T", or "Insert" key to activate the text-to-speech feature.

While reading aloud, the extension highlights the selected text, making it easy to follow along. Users can save the generated speech audio files in MP3 format directly to their PC hard disk or Google Drive for convenient access. This powerful tool is 100% free to use, offering reliable, accessible speech synthesis for all your reading needs.

User Reviews

Most reviewers report the extension often does not work or has poor voice quality. Common complaints include lack of speed/volume controls and pause, no direct page reading via context menu, and a tedious workflow that requires copying text to a new tab. Some languages (Russian, Dutch) don’t work. A single positive note exists: one user praised it as brilliant. Overall sentiment is negative with requests for basic features and better voices.

Pros

Briljant, tack!

Cons

Not working / does not work (mentioned by multiple reviewers)
Voice quality is very robotic/unrealistic
Lacks core features: no speed control, no volume control, and no pause functionality
Workflow is awkward: opens a new tab and requires copying/pasting text to read
Language support issues: Russian and Dutch not working

There is no option in the context menu to select text on the page and read directly. The voice is also too robotic, take an example from MS Edge and their reader and TTS

Is Text to Speech (TTS) Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Text to Speech (TTS) requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
